Thermal Imaging is a hot (excuse the pun) topic in the world of bats. It provides a non-invasive method to study behaviour, complementing traditional techniques with cutting edge technology and has enabled new insight into bat behaviour, especially on a landscape scale that could be vital in shaping how mitigation and compensation measures are designed.
Kayleigh will be talking about the technology, its applications, her experiences and potential for future directions in this new and exciting field. The meeting will also include a very brief AGM.

As this is a new venue for us this season, here are some detailed directions:If you're driving North through Kenilworth town centre: When you get to the clock tower roundabout take the second exit (straight on) and then, with the Holiday Inn on your left, turn right down the side of the Almanack pub. Follow the road round to the right and the Kenilworth Centre is on your left. There is a high mesh fence at the front.
On foot, with the clock tower at your back, walk through the gap in the shops by Lil Greens and the Kenilworth Centre will be in front of you.
Once in the building, the Community Rooms are upstairs (there is a lift).
